Here’s a comforting Chicken Pot Pie Soup recipe that captures the cozy flavors of a classic chicken pot pie in an easy-to-make, creamy soup form!
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup whole milk or heavy cream
- 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)
- 1 1/2 cups frozen peas and corn
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 refrigerated pie crust (optional, for topping)
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Sauté the veggies:
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened. Add the garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
- Make the roux:
- Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to create a roux. This will help thicken the soup.
- Add broth and milk:
- Slowly pour in the chicken broth while whisking to avoid lumps. Then stir in the milk or heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until it thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add chicken and veggies:
- Stir in the cooked, shredded chicken, frozen peas, and corn. Add the dried thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper to taste. Simmer for another 10-15 minutes to let all the flavors meld together.
- Prepare pie crust topping (optional):
- If you want a classic pot pie crust element, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the refrigerated pie crust, cut into squares or circles, and bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve:
- Ladle the chicken pot pie soup into bowls and top with the baked pie crust pieces for a comforting finish. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Tip:
Serve this soup with crusty bread, or biscuits on the side for a complete meal. This recipe is also great for using up leftover chicken or turkey!
